Popoli for Kids and Teens invites children and teens, boys, girls and their families to the cinema to talk together about themes of great relevance through a selection of films specifically conceived for younger audiences (from 3 to 18 years old). 

The documentaries and animated shorts selected tell life stories of children and adolescents and have a high educational value, both from the point of view of an initial literacy to the language of Cinema and with respect to the themes tackled, which contemplate the sustainable development goals defined in the UN 2030 Agenda: inclusion, recognition of diversity and the fight against all forms of marginalisation and discrimination, activism, youth and women's rights, anti-discrimination, inclusion, climate and migration emergency, racism. 

The film proposal is complemented by workshops for different age groups, screenings for schools, meetings with filmmakers and festival guests, events for the whole family, a jury made of girls and boys (during the “Young Jury Day”).

The Festival dei Popoli, with its "Popoli for Kids and Teens" programme, is part of the Docs4Teens - Building Bridges network together with the FIPADOC festival (France), the Krakow Film Festival (Poland), , Docudays UA (Ukraine) and Porto Post Doc (Portugal) with which it shares the objective of promoting the documentary films among young people and the circulation of cinema dedicated to young audiences all around Europe.
